Where was Outlander filmed?
A World War II nurse is swept back two centuries to the Jacobite Highlands, where history, danger and a second love story are waiting. The production leaned almost entirely on genuine Scottish castles, villages and glens rather than sets, so following the show is really just a tour of central Scotland and the Highlands.
